At the heart of my approach to counselling is the belief that when we develop a deeper and more honest understanding of ourselves, our relationships and the dilemmas we face, there is the potential to move towards healing and change. I offer a calm, reflective space in which you can pause and and share your story.

I have worked in a number of settings, including charitable organisations and an NHS-affiliated service, and been privileged to support clients from a wide variety of cultures and backgrounds. I hold a BSc (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling from the Metanoia Institute and abide by the BACP’s ethical framework as a registered member.

Prior to training as a therapist, I worked for many years in management and family support roles in the non-profit sector, both in the UK and USA, with a career break to raise my children. I bring to my therapeutic work an informed understanding of the pressures of the workplace and the complexities of family life.

I work with adults experiencing a range of emotional and relational difficulties, including low self-worth, anxiety and depression, as well as pervasive feelings of being stuck or lacking meaning and fulfilment in life.

I offer support through transitions in life including relationship and family change, bereavement, shifts in career and health issues.

My practice draws on a range of therapeutic approaches, considering the whole person: mind, emotion, behaviour and body. I integrate humanistic theory from person-centred, Gestalt and Transactional Analysis approaches, centred in the knowledge that healing comes when we connect with our own inner strength and wisdom.

My core task is to listen attentively, with curiosity and respect, as we explore what’s difficult for you here and now, and what is most important to you going forward. The insights and practical strategies we may uncover in our work are grounded in your unique experience.
